Atlantas begins telemedicine roll out across growing tanker fleet 

Atlantas Ship Management (ASM) has partnered with a satellite communications provider to roll out a telemedicine service to improve the health and wellbeing of its seafarers.

This comes as the London, UK-headquartered company plans to grow its managed fleet from more than 40 ships this year, mostly tankers, to over 60 vessels in 2026.

Each vessel under ASM’s management will be equipped with hardware and software to facilitate telemedicine services, while crew will be trained to use them. These ships already have the necessary satellite connectivity to enable efficient telemedical communications.

“The health and wellbeing of our crew will always come first,” said Atlantas Group chief executive Bhuvnesh Dogra. “By introducing telemedicine, we can ensure that our seafarers receive high-quality medical care, no matter where they are in the world. This partnership reflects our long-standing commitment to maintain a safe and healthy environment for our people,”  he said.
